We are interested in the following research axes:
- Synthesis of Nanomaterials using Bottom-Up approach: 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D nanomaterials
- Single crystal growth
- Molecular Modelling
Materials chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of materials. It involves studying the relationship between the structure, properties, and performance of different materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Materials chemists aim to develop new materials with specific properties to meet various technological and societal needs. They work on improving the performance, durability, and sustainability of materials used in a wide range of applications, including electronics, energy storage and conversion, medicine, environmental remediation, and more.
Some key areas of research in materials chemistry include nanomaterials, biomaterials, functional materials, catalytic materials, and sustainable materials. Materials chemists use various techniques, such as spectroscopy, microscopy, and computational modeling, to understand the structure-property relationships of materials and to design new materials with desired properties.
